Care to elaborate on that statement aadix?

sure rtech
almost all of my friends have pulsar 180 and a few of them have karizmas,in my family we have plenty of bullets,and other bikes like elim,etc
the feeling when i get when i ride a bullet cannot be compared to Any other bike,the sound,the ride,the intial thrust all together put you in another world!
for me this feeling i havent gotten from any other bike(kari or my lovely elim)but by my friends's pulsar 180

here the bikes arent being compared,the feeling you get when u ride a bike is being compared

aadix, the bullets you mentioned here, are they 350 or 500?? Coz, there is a world of difference between 350 and 500. I doubt the 500 "ride feeling" can be compared to the P180.

Yup, after having ridden them both, I have to agree with shravan. I do not see any similarity between the Bullet and the P180. Maybe one actually, both the gearbox's suck!

rtech, i feel its just a matter of getting used to the g'box, isn't it?

[Rtech]

You're right shravan, but getting used to a box doesn't make it a nice box! I had a early 80's Suzuki GS450 and that thing had a gearbox that was smooth as hot butter.

Everyone gets used to riding/driving his own vehicle, and you subconsciously compensate for its shortcomings, but the problem still exists. For example, I was the only one who could start that old Suzuki, nobody else could ever get it started !!

Hey, I guess we can call it "character" right!!

How on earth is it possible??
When i rode the two bikes, i could feel a world of difference, the torque of 500s is mindblowing, far far ahead of the 350s. The vehicle just propels forward, like no other thing!

found the diff between the 535 and 350,but not much between the 500 and the 350,same goes for my dad
